Big Piney


Big Piney
Originally uploaded by Corn Dog.

Thank you to everyone that came to the Piney last weekend. The motley crew managed to pack in a heavy amount of drinking, smoking and general zaniness and Kim & Mike weren't even there! We missed you guys though.

Let's see...who was there: Anna, Shannon, Matt (of April & Matt but April went on a different float that traitor), Aaron, The Drunk Monk, Christian the Pisschin, Josh & Bert, Marty & Meeghan, Bischof, Andy & Jamie (all the way from A-T-L-A-N-T-A - the first to ever fly to MO just for the Piney), Joy & Jeff (I count them as they were on the float trip but nothing else), Aaron & Steve (fucking maniacs - they were also only on the float and thank the Capital G-od for that), Ryan & Sister Jenn, Blood, JDPimp and myself and Dave. Oh and don't forget Cassady, Corn Dog, Cleo, Jasmine, Indy & Bo of the canine-variety friends.

We still have people shitting in the river though and that's just no good. What seriously goes through their minds? Do you really have to be a forward-thinker or something to realize that at some point you could be swimming in poo remnants? I don't let my DOG shit in the river, why would it be OK for you to do it?

Things to remember from this float:
- Dave pissing on top of the van as he was tying the kayaks down
- Aaron & Steve disappearing for the last half of the float only to narrowly be beat to the end by a very slow-moving Josh & Bert
- Sending Joy & Jeff to get a non-existent canoe at the bridge and off to make a phone call RIGHT after they got there. Sorry for the confusion baby.
- The charred briquet that was at one time a luscious, juicy london broil...sacrificed for the good of the group I suppose. Not a great Piney dinner that night, I dare say.
- The look on Jason's face after about the 3rd time Ryan dumped their canoe over. Priceless.
- Bert caught a fish!!!!!!!!

Stupid Saturn Rising

My horoscope today said that "my insecurity has taken on a life of its own". That's comforting. Now I remember why I quit reading horoscopes. Although, I thought I was just making the title up with this reference to Saturn rising, but as it turns out, my astrological chart really does say that Saturn is my ascendant planet right now. I'm super fucking in tune with my planets, so just keep that in mind. It's my secret weapon. In other news, have you ever had that problem where you have absolutely so much going on and so much to do, that you find yourself unable to start and complete one simple task? Take for instance, a blog post. I must have started writing on four separate posts in the last week, yet you can easily see nothing new posted in that time frame. I'm guilting on the fact that I haven't posted in so long. Generally, I wouldn't care so much - at least not enough to feel guilty about it - but the wicked knowledge that there are a few hardy sou

High Tide

On the Piney! About three days after we were there last, the banks could no longer contain the flood water and the river rose to about 10 feet from where our tent stood just a few days previously. I don't *think* The Lodge took on any water, but it would have been a really close call, and for those of you that don't know, The Lodge is easily a 150-ft. walk from the normal river bank. Photographic evidence: And I'm going to try this new-fangled video thing...we'll see if it works for anyone (8 Mb for a shorty):

Don't You Love it When...

...you get a new phone? I am bursting with pride over my new little friend. It sings to me and she retrieves my email...I love it so. The only downside is that I'm bound to become one of those people pretending to pay attention in a conversation but am actually checking my emails on my phone. But, I'm breaking it in with the firm assertion that I WON'T become one of those people addicted to their email. I'm not that important and I don't ever want to be that important. ...you have a party and the cops are called because people are having too much fun for stodgy suburbia? The third (or was it fourth) annual Jamexican party had probably it's largest turnout ever (thanks in large part to Anna and her party coordination skills) and I think everyone had a jolly good time. By the time the cops showed up to let us know there had been "several" noise complaints from neighbors (which maybe? I have a hard time believing since two of our five neighbors wer
